My Big Backyard Beauty, comments please.

I moved into my place beg of july and found this little plant. I have been taking care of it ever since. This is my first grow outdoors. Only grew once indoors. I think the plant (plants.. there are 3 all together. 2 types and I dont know what types.) Here are some pics. It seems to be doing great. They are all sativa and I THINK they are all female. they are going into the preflowering stage/end of foilage stage. Im in the south and very humid here. Can a helocopter pick this up if I am in a very lush area with a lot of vegitation? Its getting big enough to make me very nervouse. It smells great and looks pretty good too. Any help would be appreciated. Please let me know what you think. In the younger pic you can clearly see the difference in the leaves if you look in the middle torwards the bottom of the pic. Now that it is bigger you cant really tell. 2 of the plants seem to be the same and are 7 leaf sativas, the one thats differant is 9 leaf (dont know if thats important). If anyone knows about strain, potential yeild. I have a lot of love for this plant. Its been through a hurricane, a tropical storm, and weathered it all. I do give it nutrients, but not that much. Im just letting it go natural, Ive never even had to water it (rains alot here). Now that Its getting to flower I would love any help on how to increase yeild and promote big buds. Thanks in advance for your help. I have been looking at alot of pics on line and I really have not found any plants that look as full as this one. Let me know what you guys think.

In the first pic you can see the leaves are very different between the 2 main plants, they are darker green and much bigger then the other plant.

Second pic is about a month ago.

Third pic from 2 weeks ago.

The last pic is from last week.

The bush is about 5 foot 3 inches tall and about 4 and 1/2 feet across.

You might want to switch to a budding nutes like some 0-7-0 guano anything with alot of p in it. Maybe even some molasses 1 or 2 tablespoon per gallon of water.

that is i nice little bush you have there! can't wait to see more pics down the road!

You mean phosphorus , right? Like 10-30-10 for flowering.I'm using 10-52-10 but only at 1/4 strength.

I have done a lot of research online. I know what the majority of sites say and I am going to follow their recommendation. Same as most of yours. Am I crazy, or does this bush look like its going to seriously produce some weight? Most of the other pics I have looked at online have very thin, scraggly looking plants. This is a real nice BUSH. I have counted 37 tips on it so far, and thats just the developed tips, not the baby ones. You can see in the first pic at least 20 heads. Show this thread to all of your friends. I would like to know what it looks like to a stranger since I cant really show it to but the closest friends. If there is a better way for me to post this let me know. My first time blogging as well. Looking forward to comments.

High Potasium and phosphorus

im 99% sure thoe the K (Potasium) is most important for flowering

A few pics i just took. Count the heads on this bush and see how many you come up with from just this angle. I just hope that its pretty good smoke after its cured. Any Ideas, thoughts?

The reason I asked what state you live in is because Climate has a very important part in your return. As nice as I have seen people's pictures of big plants here I have noticed one thing. The majority of the pics I have nice buds on the end of the branches, but not much else on the rest of the branch? I'm pretty sure this is a direct result of climate. Because the majority of growers here use seeds from seed banks, high end seeds.

I suggest to you "Luckymover", don't count you your chickens before the eggs hatch. I myself have done that in the past with terrible results. Thinking I was gonna get this weight upon harvest, and going around making deals(buying on credit) for grow bags,soils, fert, etc,etc. from Greenhouse supply stores. Making a promise to come back at harvest time to take care of debt. Then blam, crop is wiped out by rip offs, or by some disease. There are just to many things that could happen between day one and harvest time. I highly suggest you just bite your tongue and wait until harvest time. Are you aware that these beautiful plants are 70% water?
Keep that in mind during harvest time too! I think a lot of people think they are gonna get "bumper crop" on their first time out too. Just remain cool, calm, and collective.
Hey, have you ever entertained the thought that the original owner of plant/home left that plant on purpose with the plan to return around harvest time to check and see if it's still there....then harvest it? Make sure you keep one eye on your plants at all time. Not to many people I know of will just get up and walk away from their plants, how about you? Be careful brah!

I've always thought it was the phosphorus that was most important.The ferts I buy up here in eastern canada are Miracle grow and plant prod and I've never came across a combo with numbers like 10-10-40 or 0-15-30 at the local stores although they probably make them.What do you use?

Hi,
I am in the North West with the church goers. This is my baby. She is in the backyard, 8 feet Tall. I never gave her anything. I think your plant is very pritty....

It is High P guano you want to flower with
or any high P (phosphurus) fert if you dont do the organic thing.
10 30 10 will work but use at half strength.

BTW, I am 100 percent sure it is high p you want not high k

Your plant looks great! The middle number, which is Phosphurus, is what you want to boost up for flowering. You definately want to give it nutes that have all three nutrients in it. Don't look for something like 0-30-0. While it is most important to have more "P" while flowering, the plant still needs some Nitrogen and some Potash. Like goldenchips stated, 10-30-10, or something like that is what you're looking for. While I do agree with some of Puna Buds comments, especially about losing 60%-70% of the weight when it dries, I also believe you'll see it through with great results. It is definately possible to harvest a killer crop your first time out with limited knowledge. Look at my avatar. That was the first plant I ever grew. It was 6'+ high and 6'+ wide when I cut it down, and it yielded me a POUND(dry) of kick-ass weed. It doesn't happen all the time, but it does happen. Just be patient and let her do her thing. I'm rootin' for you. Best of luck the rest of the way!

We dont really get frost here. We do get about 2 to 3 freezes a year typically in Dec, Jan, Feb. In a subtropical climate. We dont have much of a winter here. I used to feed it citrus plant food. 12-5-8 during end of july and august (First pic at the beginning of this thread was taken july 10th). Only 3 times, and just sprinkled about a tablespoon around it. 3 weeks ago I fed it Fruit & citrus tree spikes (10-15-15). I break it up and desolve a two finger pinch of it, (Its ment for a tree for 6 monthes) in a galon of water. Tonight will be the second time I do that. It Usually rains here every day but has not rained here in 2 days so I have to water it. I have topped them twice. You can see the fence and I cant let it get taller than that. My neighbers are all cool, smoke, and are excited to see this when its done (and Ill share with them for being cool about it). I do have to worry about helos because they fly over all the time. Not looking for one plant im sure but looking for Big grows. This is the prefect climate for growing and the season is basicly year around. Where I am at we just hit 12 hours of darkness 6 days ago and it shouldnt really go into the flowering stage until it gets more than 12 hours of darkness. So I think I am right on, time wise. There were four plants 3 days ago. While inspecting them, I found at the top of the smallest plant in the back, 3 tiny ball sacs. So I cut it it out immediatly. The other three have a few hairs here and there and you can easily see the pre-flowers at the base of the plants (Usually between the 6th and 12th nodes) so I know they are girls! Normal harvest here is oct/nov. How hefty yield you guys think? Any tips, advice, or any of the like?

That's exactly what I thought. I wouldn't just plant 3 probably good seeds in the backyard then just move out!? I mean I would just be careful and keep a watchful eye out when its close to harvest.

Maybe the person just forgot. Or threw bagseed out into the yard? They look purposefully placed so I doubt that.

But anyways, damn nice looking plants. Very bushy with lots of possible bud sites. Keep good care of her and she'll return the favor.

Any advise appreciated!
